It was with feelings of deep regret that we learned of the death of Roy Davis at the Brantford hospital. The family moved from here to Brantford d last fall. Roy was in his seventeenth year and was liked by all who knew him, he being a boy of quiet habits and kind disposition. He made many new friends since going to Brantford. He had been complaining for some time and was operated on for some inward trouble about eight weeks ago, this trouble being of so serious nature that small hopes were ever entertained for his recovery. Our hearts go out in sympathy for those bereaved.
The funeral was held from the residence of his parents on Eagle place, the remains being interred in Mount Hope cemetery. Six friends in his Sunday School class acted as bearers. The funeral was well attended, friends being there from Ingersoll, Ayr, Stoney Creek, Herkmur, N.Y., and Welland Junction.

The boys, whose combined ages would not exceed fifty years, all admitted the thefts. They made two trips. First two of the boys went alone and alter they returned with two other boys. They obtained an entry by forcing a rear window. The thefts were not discovered until late on the following day (Monday).
The Magistrate reminded the boys that the thing that they usually do to boys who steal is to send them away to a school in Mimico, where they would not see their parents until they were twenty-one years of age. However he was going to make an acceptance in this case and put the boys in charge of a society of the church in which they belong, Roman Catholic. The boys were put in charge of Rev. Father MacCaffrey and George Lahey, who will give them a close supervision.
Further than this the Magistrate decreed that the boys would have to attend day school regularly and punctually, and Sunday School every Sunday. They would have to present a report from the teacher of the school to Rev. Father MacCaffrey every week end.
The parents of the boys were forced to pay $9.50 each, as court costs.
